How AI is Transforming Cybersecurity

Designing What’s Next AI, agents and the changing shape of experience Dublin UX is back this September for an exclusively in-person evening of talks, conversation and community, presented in partnership with SiriusXM. Now in our 11th year, Dublin UX continues to bring together the people shaping products, services and experiences across Ireland and beyond. For this edition, we’ll explore how AI and agentic technologies are changing the way products are designed, how teams work and how experiences connect across an expanding range of surfaces. Join us for three talks featuring four speakers, followed by an opportunity to continue the conversation with the wider Dublin UX community. Event schedule Doors open at 6pm with a food, drinks and networking reception. The talks will begin at 6:45pm sharp and the formal programme will finish by 8:30pm. There will be additional networking at SiriusXM until 9pm. The running order and individual session timings remain subject to change. Talks and speakers Agentic workflows Salomé Mortazavi, Senior Director of Design Systems and Operations at SiriusXM Amie Tornincasa, Vice President of Product at SiriusXM Salomé and Amie will explore how agentic AI is becoming part of the product development process and changing the way cross-functional teams work. Drawing on their experience at SiriusXM, they will consider how organisations can use these emerging capabilities to move faster while continuing to create thoughtful, differentiated experiences for customers. About Salomé Salomé Mortazavi is Senior Director of Design Systems and Operations at SiriusXM, where she enables teams to build the best possible experiences for listeners. She is currently focused on integrating agentic AI into cross-functional workflows, helping teams move faster while continuing to deliver exceptional listener experiences.

What are the building blocks of the world's great startup ecosystems, and what can we learn from other successful economies to create a stronger platform for Irish founders?

Tools like Lovable have made it possible for a non-technical founder to ship a working prototype in a night. Getting that prototype in front of paying customers, handling their data safely, and keeping it running when something breaks is a different problem. Karen Forde, founder of Bridge the Gapp, spends her working week reviewing codebases that founders built with AI tools and no engineering team. She will walk through what she finds, what it costs to fix, and the handful of decisions you can make early that keep a prototype on a path to production. Hosted by The AI Collective's Dublin chapter and Baseline, this is the follow-on to Pilots & Prototypes. If you built something at Part 1, bring it. If you didn't make Part 1, you're still welcome. Who this is for: Founders and operators who have built a prototype with AI tools and are wondering what comes next, along with anyone about to sell, pilot, or raise on something they built themselves. No engineering background needed! Schedule: 6:00 p.m. - Doors open and networking 6:30 p.m. - Event kick off, session led by Karen Forde 7:15 p.m. - Q&A with Karen and non-technical founder 7:30 p.m. - Build time! 8:30 p.m. - Demos and sharing 9:00 p.m. - Close What to bring: A laptop and your prototype, if you have one. Questions about your own build are welcome in the clinic. About the speaker: Karen Forde is the founder of Bridge the Gapp, a software consultancy working with early-stage founders on code and architecture review, technical direction, and moving AI-built products towards production.
